October 20, 1775

1775 October 20 (Friday).  Capt. Wheelocks Child buryed.  I was there and prayed.  I am lame by Striking my Leg against the rough End of a Stake, and cannot go to the Grave.  At Eve Breck and Hannah returned (in the Rain) from Concord.  They have been also to the Camp at Cambridge at prospect Hill in Charlestown, and at Roxbury were at General Wards Head Quarters.  They went as far as Dorchester to See our people’s Tents there.  N.B. Mr. Solomon Batherick here to be examined.
